Poster of Her Suitcase Exhibition

The Richard Charles Lee Canada-Hong Kong Library presents the exhibition Her Suitcase: A Voyage of Women Immigrants by artist-curator Jessica Cheng, a tribute to the Chinese Canadian women from the 1950s to the present. Inspired by Dr. Vivienne Poy’s research on Chinese immigrant women to Canada, the exhibition uncovers the stories of women immigrants across generations. Through free-hand machine embroidery and ZINE creation, the exhibition brings personal stories to the forefront. In this immersive installation, you will also discover selected archives and publications on Chinese Canadian women from the library collections.
